Wall Mount Mail Box

Selecting A Wallmount Mailbox For Your Home Distinguish your resident from other homes on your block with a wall mount mail box.  No one wants to be a clone of their neighbor’s home.  A unique wall mounted mailbox can add pizzazz to your residence for your friends and family to admire and envy. Wall mount mailboxes are available in numerous shapes, sizes and styles. A wall mount mail box is generally installed on the exterior of the house by the front entry door.  Installing these boxes may require the use of mounting screws, a drill and anchors.  Wall mounted boxes are available in several different styles ranging from Victorian to modern. For your convenience, many manufacturers design mailboxes in both vertical and horizontal formats for easy mounting.  Installing a wall box is easy.  Most manufacturers provide a step-by-step installation guide for easy mounting.  When mounting, use #8 or #10 pan head Phillips screws of adequate length to anchor the mailbox.  For wood panel walls, screw length should be approximately one inch.  For masonry, stucco or metal walls, use a minimum #8 plastic anchor and screw. Construction and Accessories Wall mounted boxes are generally constructed of highly durable plastics, brass, wrought iron, galvanized metals or stainless steel and most are rust resistant.  Some boxes are of the standard rectangle variety but many square with beautifully decorated outer shells. Many manufacturers offer a variety of accessories for your box.  Some offer separate newspaper holders and some boxes and holders are designed as one piece.  Other accessories include personalized name plates, outgoing mail flags to alert the mail carrier of outgoing mail, mailbox lights for when it’s dark and mail chimes to alert the homeowner when their mail is delivered.

An important accessory for any mailbox is a locking mechanism.  Mailbox locks help to curtail identity theft, mail theft, and vandalism.  Locks are critically important when the homeowner is away for several days and unable to retrieve the mail.

To help prevent mail theft, purchase a sturdy, lockable mailbox that cannot be easily pried open or stolen.  Many vandals get a thrill out of whacking a mailbox with a baseball bat.  Mailbox designers have designed specific boxes which can withstand that type of abuse.

When selecting a new wall mount box, carefully consider the size of the box needed.  How much mail do you receive on a daily basis?  Do you need an extra-large T3 size box or is a standard T1 size adequate?  Sizes vary from small letter-size only boxes to extra-large for heavier daily mail delivery.

Evaluate the placement of the box.  Make sure it is far enough away from the sprinkler so the contents don’t get soaked.

Another important feature that is easily overlooked is how much sound it generates when the lid closes.  Mailbox lids should not sound like a gun being fired in the house when the flap slams shut!  Many wall boxes incorporate a mechanism to allow the lid to close softly for quiet operation.

Before purchasing your new box, look it over carefully.  Is it weatherproof?  The finish on the outside of the box should not require any type of maintenance other than wiping with a damp cloth.  Are instructions included to guide you through the installation process?
